[outdated] Caustic Arrow Solo Map MFer (20/300+)

As for when I did Uber lab, I first did it around... ~82-85? Somewhere in there. Wasn't incredibly comfortable though, required a nearly flawless final phase.

Went for the 40/40 on Uber at level 90. Turns out 39 straight runs was pretty decent XP too. Died once, went from ~15% to ~80%. Would've been 90% without that death.

What do i do with the additional two ascendancy points? Is scion still the way to go?

Also, don't you have open gem slots?

6L on bow, 4L for frenzy, 4L for auras, blood rage 4 link,... isn't there another 4 link?

Could I run CWDT/Endcry/Immortalcall/Incduration in another 4L? is there room?

Scion is still the way to go. The final two ascendancy points are used to get Path of Ranger, and you can save three passive points in the tree(the three dex travel nodes to the right of Sentinel), which can be used to fill out other areas of your passive tree. Another jewel socket, more defense, more life, dodge/phase acro, etc.

Cool, thanks.

What does your gem setup look like?

Also first post on page 420 of a green cloud build, nice.

Re-read the OP. It's all there.

I haven't verified this yet, but running the lab with buddies running energy shield, I suspect that our evasion dodges a lot of the damage. Traps that regularly get my guildies killed don't seem to do even a fraction of my health. The damage is so different I started just running through the traps and ignoring their damage.

There's no mitigation for trap damage at all.

It deals a percentage of your life, and ES @ 60% of its value, over time.

ES builds just have a shittier time of it because most of them don't take Zealots Oath, and regeneration / flasks are the only way to combat the trap damage.

We regenerate 5% of our life/s.

That's why you're having an easier time of it.

I am using this guide on a HC CA shadow,using a +2 5L with iir i manage 4k chaos dmg p/s ,how do i reach the 25k,at least 20k dmg ,im lvl 63 ,took all chaos,dmg over time and almost all proj.dmg nodes yet my dps is still low,the clear speed even in my lvl range is slow,what am i doing wrong

Unlock your characters and I, or other contributors here, will be able to tell you more but the likely culprits are:

a) Gem levels (I'm guessing you're running a level 16 or 17 gem atm)
b) Dps values of 20k+ you mentioned are with 7 frenzy charges up. Unbuffed, you'll see 15-16k ish in a completed build. 4k for where you're at with gem levels isn't bad, but:
c) You're running the IIR gem. That's the sixth link gem for precisely this reason. You want more damage earlier, not MF. Use your gear to get the MF going. Your 5L should be a damage gem. Not sure what your current setup is so I can't tell you which to go to, but it's probably going to be Pierce.
d) If you're running shadow, you're probably using AoE, which will see lower damage output. The dps values listed in this guide are not using AoE, because we can compensate for it with +arrow from the Scion Ascendency. I leave it up to you if you're fine with a smaller cloud but you'll probably want to invest in a +Arrow Drillneck to make your life easier. Which leads me to:
e) No Drillneck, maybe.

I'm off to bed. I'll investigate further tomorrow if you reply, unless someone beats me to it.
